Sandra Ellen "Sandi" Pratt

Sandra Ellen "Sandi" Pratt, 74, of Koontz Lake, IN passed away at her home on Tuesday, March 4, 2025. She was born on May 5, 1950 in Cedar Rapids, IA to the late Harold O. and Ellen J. (Trejtnar) Skripsky. On July 1, 1972, she married Glenn Darrell Pratt in Cedar Rapids. They lived in Plymouth, IN for seven years and resided in Brandon, FL for over 30 years with their daughter Misti.
Sandi was a master quilter and a longtime member of the Peacemakers Quilt Guild in Brandon. She loved coordinating and attending quilt retreats as well as participating in a quilt ministry for expectant mothers. For many years, she owned and operated her own pattern and crafting business called "Gingerbread and Such" in Brandon. Later in life, Sandi worked as a claims adjustor for Progressive Insurance.
In 2015, Sandi retired and moved back to Indiana with her husband. Since returning, they have been devoted members of the Oak Grove Primitive Baptist Church in rural Jasper County, IN.
